Generating the API Key for a new Cisco Meraki User

To monitor Cisco Meraki, eG Enterprise requires the administrator of the Cisco Meraki to create a new user with read-only privilege and determine the API key for that user. This API key should be provided while configuring the tests that are executed to collect the required metrics.

  • Login to the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API as a user with administrator privileges.

  • Then, for the eG agent to collect the required metrics, the Dashboard API should be enabled. For this, navigate through the menu sequence: Organization -> Settings -> Dashboard API Access. In the Dashboard API access section that appears, select the check box before the Enable access to the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API .

  • Once the API access is enabled, navigate to the My Profile page. API access section will then appear. In this section, click the Generate API key button available against the API key option.

  • The API key is then generated and displayed.

  • Specify the generated API key in the API KEY text box, while configuring the tests.
